Configure iPhone via Windows PC?

[Quattro Pete]

What free Windows apps are out there that would allow me to configure an iPhone (connected to a PC via USB cable)?

Basically looking for something that will clone the screen display of an iPhone on a PC.

Does iTunes do that? Or can I use something else?

Thanks!

I have been looking for a similar option for an Android phone.

For android, there is an app called AirDroid that you install on the phone and then you can control it via your PC's web browser, but both devices have to be connected to the same local network, I think.

AirDroid, I think is the most popular. There is also this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395

iPhone? You're not going to do anything with one of those that Apple doesn't allow you to do. Asking at one of their support forums might be more productive.

Yeah, I'm guessing the iPhone might have to be jailbroken to allow for this to happen. I am seeing youtube videos where there are little Windows consoles on a PC that looks exactly like the iPhone screen. That's what I'm looking for.

I'm confused, do you mean install/delete apps and move around icons, or do you mean control the phone/make calls/send texts, etc?

This is what I get in iTunes, it allows me to add or delete apps and rearrange the icons. It's on a Mac, but I would assume that the Windows version is similar?

I want the ability to configure all the iPhone's settings, configure email accounts, etc. from a PC.

The iPhone configuration utility can do some of the things you want, I haven't tried using it with ios8 though.
